One day while driving a few colleagues to lunch at Ramenya on Olympic Blvd, one of my passengers discovered a cell phone under one of the seats.

Backing up and sharing files is too easy with the Microsoft Skydrive and the Gspace Firefox Add-on. These online storage solutions have been around for some time, but recently the storage space has grown quite a bit (to 5 GB) and since they’re free, it’s time to sign up.
Put photo albums, music, and movies online so that you […]

November 6th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Here is the thing. If I can’t eat at least one burrito a week, I will go through withdrawals. The last food I ate before leaving the country for 10 days was a burrito. The first place I went to after getting back in the country was a Mexican restaurant…for a burrito. I went straight […]
